lost £100,000 on a bet
 

And you thought just losing the match was bad. Some english fan placed a £100,000 bet that england would beat brazil.
check it out on sky news

He must be able to afford it if he can put that sort of bet on.

How much is that in US dollars? Is it a lot? <---Stupid question.

£ is worth more than the $

ethan you morron!:D

Wow... that's a lotta money.

And I'm a moron - why? :rolleyes:


£100,000 is equal to $150,461.53, according to todays exchange rates.

I thik Vie was trying to make out taht you were the person who put on the bet. This is unlikly though, as Ethan lives in Gallway, and the bet was placed in the West Midlands.

If I had £100,000, do you really think I'd be hanging around here with you lot????!!!! :D

No, me and thee would be on a whirlwind romantic cruise of course :rolleyes: :D

Well, I might not be able to stretch to £100,000 , but I have a tent, camping gear and a free summer if you're up for it... :p

Hell, I am up for some of that.

Ah I see love is in the air at Winamp today

guess its not a threesome then?

don't you live in the midlands? the WEST midlands...

Where the hell is the Midlands, i'm from Canada. And who would be dumb enough to bet £100,000 on a soccer game??? I would have used it for much better things...

At a guess, I'd say that the West Midlands would be located somewhere around the middle of England, slightly to the left.....


[edit]What do you know - it is!! :D [/edit]

hay play nice I'm ill

Play nice??
 

Now I know where this story came from? What's so bad about that? lol, oh well :)

HOly crap! Damn right that's a lot of money. Around $225000 Canadian, methinks.

i thought you meant YOU lost the money...

wow :)

god if i lost that money... ahhh id kill myself, well maybe not, but i wouldnt be dumb enough to bet against brazil :D

If I'm betting six figures I'm betting in Bhat or Dhong.
